Consolidated data

Hi All,
With this new forum being established, I have an issue that hopefully someone faced and resolved:
We have BCS 6.0 sitting on top of the BW environment which feed from the R/3 system. BW contains all - Profit Centers, Cost Center, GL Accounts and Group Accounts. In our chart of accounts, we have close to 20K GL accounts (about 13K are InterCompany)
When we bring the data into BCS, we bring in the PC and GA information only. BCS Chart of accounts has about 300 GA's. As we are preparing the reports, we are finding out that at times we need to reference individual GL account alongside consolidated BCS Data (including the Cons JE's). We can't access all the data simultaneously with one query, as the origin is two separate MultiProviders. Instead, we are bringing the data into the workbook with the use of formulas (BExGetData) from multiple queries and then performing calculations between the needed values (for example creating a P&L report by group account with inclusion/exclusion of individual GL accounts).
Has anyone faced a similar situation where they had to create a report based on two multiproviders? I don't believe that we can create a new MultiProvider to include all the infocubes.
Thank you

Hi,
13k GL accounts only for intercompany is fairly a very very large number. In the context of trading partner implementation, you can try to reduce the number of accounts in Inter company.
In one of my implementation, we suggested reduction to Inter company GL accounts due to the implementation of trading partner functionality.
Another aspect is to keep the 0CS_ITEM in BCS cube, but get the GL accounts detsails on need basis by drill down functionality.
Let me know if you need further information.
Regards,
Ram.

SEM:BCS - Copying Consolidated data from one version to another

Hi,
We have a situation where we do Consolidation of Forecast data. However this involves mixing Actuals data. For eg.
1) Q3 forecast would contain Q1 and Q2 as Actuals and Q3 and Q4 as Forecast
2) System has already done the consolidation for Q1 and Q2 lets say in version 0
3) Forecast is a different version eg. F1.
4) I want to be able to copy the Consolidated data of Q1 and Q2 from version 0 to version F1. Then load the data for Q3 and Q4 for forecast and perform consolidations for Q3 and Q4.
What I have seen in the system is -
a) You can copy only the non-consolidated data from one version to another and not for eg. Elimination entries etc.
b) This means that I have to perform consolidations in version F1 for quarters Q1 and Q2 again even though its already been done in the Actuals version (0).
c) Is there any way out of this. There is always the possibility that the consolidated data in Q1 and Q2 does not match between Actuals (version 0) and Forecast (F1)

Hi,
We had the same issue. In your solution you'll have to delete old (Q1 and Q2) forecast data and replace them by actuals. It's too problematic.
And you are absolutely right about possible inconsistency between actual and forecast data.
So, we've chosen another way.
We make separate consolidation in actual, budget, plan and forecast versions.
In plan and forecast we everything that is possible do periodically (including currency translation) -- to avoid the possible influence of historical data.
In a BEx query (and Excel workbook) level we retrive: N months of fact, forecast data for N1 month and a plan data for N2 month. After summing up all figures we have predicted (name it as forecast) data for N+2 months.
Of course, the actual, forcast and plan components are hidden in a report.
This is possible because, in plan and forecast we use turnovers (not balances) only. Even a balance sheet is produced without problems, not talking about P&L and Cash Flow.
Hope it helps.

ECCS - G06020 First consolidation data for unit x in group G2 contains err

Dear Experts,
When I try to consolidate the investment, I got error message as below:
First consolidation data for unit E in group G2 contains error(s)
Message no. G06020
Diagnosis
Investment or equity data was collected for consolidation unit x for a date that is after the period of first consolidation in consolidation group G2. This makes all activities for this unit ineffective after the first consolidation of those activities. This can also affect indirect activities and organizational changes of other consolidation units.
Procedure
Correct the investment or equity data for consolidation unit x.
Then, I have no idea how to fix the problem. If i changed the investment or investee's equity, the data validation can not be successful. And from the message is said, the date could be critical, but I don't know, which date is incorrect.
The background information is described as below:
This is the first consolidation, I have run all tasks of data collection and elimination of AR/AP and Dividends.
The consolidation is based on purchase method.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

How can you solve this problem?, please guide me to solve this problem, i have similar problem, thanks.

ECCS : Proportional consolidation data selection

Hello Guys,
I want to include items into the consolidated statement using proportional consolidation (transcation CX26).
My problem is that with this tool i cannot select any item or apply any restricton to my source data : the standard program proportionally consolidate every items without exception.
Does any one of you have a solution to limit the proportional consolidation only to cetain items/posting level...?
Should I use another consolidation of investment tool to fulfill my requirement?
thank you in advance for your help
best regards
pascal

Hi Sylvie,
That's true: apportionement task will apply to all FS items.
If you want to reduce the apportionement scope, you can try to use a reclassification, which uses percentages, and limit the dataset in the triggering parameters.
Kind regards,
Grégoire

BPC - Consolidation - Data Loading - Will BS/PL accounts data ONLY be loaded from ECC?

Dear All,
In BPC, when we load data from ECC for Consolidation, my understanding is that we load only BS and PL accounts' data for/by the entity.
Apart from BS and PL data, will there be any data that will have to be loaded into BPC for consolidation?
The following three financial statements -
-Statement of Cash Flow
-Statement of Changes in Equity
-Statement of Comprehensive Income
are actually derived/calculated from the loaded BS and PL data. This is my understanding. Pls. correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you!
Regards,
Peri

Hi Peri,
Balance sheet, PL and those three financial statements are derived from BS/ PL accounts, however, there should also be "flow" information. Otherwise you won't end up with a correct consolidated cash flow or equity movement. ( or you can prefer to enter flow detail manually)
Second thing is, while getting BS & PL accounts, you will also need trading partner detail, otherwise you won't be able to do the eliminations. (or you can prefer to manually enter trading partner detail for intercompany accounts)
Thirdly, you should also consider other disclosures. (Depending on what standart you are implementing - IFRS, US GAAP, Local Gaap whatever...)
Hope this gives an idea.

Best practice data source from ECC 6.0 for legal consolidation in BPC NW7.5

Hi there,
after scanning every message in this forum for "data source" I wonder if there isn't any standard approach from SAP to extract consolidation data from ECC 6.0. I have to say that my customer is not using New g/l so far and therefore the great guide "how to get balances from ECC 6.0 ..." does not fully work for us.
Coming from the old world of EC-CS there is the first option to go via the GLT3 table. This option requires clever customization and the need to keep both GLT0 and GLT3 in line. Who has experiences regarding maintenance of these tables in a production environment?
We therefore plan to use data source 0FI_GL_4 which contains all line items to the financial documents posted. Does this approach make sense or will it fail because of performance issues?
Any help is appreciated!
Kind regards,
Dierk

Hi Dierk,
Do you have a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor? Normally I would recommend going for the basic 0FI_GL_6 extractor, which provides a much more manageable data volume since it only gives the periodic activity and balances as well as a much smaller selection of characteristics. Link: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0a/558cabb2e19a4db3097b81bba4fd0e/frameset.htm]
Despite this initial recommendation, every client I've had has eventually had a need for the level of detail provided by the 0FI_GL_4 extractor (or the New G/L equivalent - 0FI_GL_14). Most BW systems can handle the output of the line-item extractors without much issue, but you should test using production data and make sure your system sizing takes into account the load.
The major problem you can run into with the line-item extractors is that if your delta somehow gets compromised it can take a very long time (days, sometimes weeks) to reinitialize and this can cause a large load in your ECC and BW system. Also, for the first transport to production, it is important to plan time to initialize the delta.

Difference between Consolidation, Harmonization and Central master data man

Hi ..Expertise
Consolidation is use to identify duplicate records and merge them into one record.
Harmonization is the process of pushing the new cleansed data back out to your partner systems.
Central master data management means you create records within MDM and then you distribute (Syndicate) this centrally created data to your Remote Systems.
My Question is her after Consolidation both Harmonization and Central master data management is doing the same thing i.e. sending the clean data to the other system. What is the difference between these two? Please explain me with an example or scenario..

Hi Yugandhar,
There are three basic scenarios that we follow in MDM:
Data Consolidation
Data Harmonization
Central Master Data Management
Consolidation :
Conolidation (matching , normalization, cleansing) and storage of master data imported from client system. Entails capabilities to identify identical and similar objects spread across the local systems , build consolidated master data.
Key Capabilities:
1. Cleansing and de-duplication
2. Data normalization including categorization and taxonomy management
3. New interactive consolidation capabilities
Data Harmonization :
In case of Harmonization we generally aim at reaching high quality master data within heterogeneous system landscapes. Here the main focus is on ensuring high quality of master data within the connected systems and then distributing the Master data
Key Capabilities:
1. Automated synchronization of globally relevant master data information
2. New Interactive distribution capabilities
Central Master Data Management :
In case of CMDM, it is not always the scenario that the Client wants to go for the above two scenario`s, but CMDM is always required as it helps us to maintain the Business data effectively and efficiently.
After MDM is put into the business scenario all the operations related to the Master records are done in MDM only. For Eg: Creating a record, Deleting a record, Distributing a record etc.
Now it is the work of CMDM to centrally maintain the data and check that no duplicate enteries can be created.
And all the various systems that are attached to MDM gets the updates from CMDM with the help of Syndication Process or Distribution Process.
Key Capabilities:
1. Central creation and maintenance of data
2. Ongoing master data quality
Hope this would be helpful !!!!!!!!!

What is Master Data Consolidation?

Hi Friends,
what is Master Data Consolidation?
please explain this procedure with one good example?
please....

Hi,
Master Data Consolidation means:
1. Load master data from client systems
2. Identification and consolidation of similar or identical objects
3. Provision of key mapping for unified, company wide analytics and business operations.
4. It aggregate master data across SAP and non- SAP systems into a centralized master data repository. Once data is consolidated, you can search for data across linked systems, identify identical or similar objects across systems, and provide key mapping for reliable company wide analytics and reporting.
In this scenario, these are the following steps:
1. Users use SAP net weaver MDM to collect master data from several systems at a central location,
2. Detect and clean up duplicate and identical objects, and manage the local object keys for cross-system communication.
3.With this consolidated data, users can access the information they need to perform company-wide analysis and consolidated.
For example: Suppose Wipro have different branches like: Wipro Technologies, Wipro Limited, Wipro Infotech and each branch is doing business with the same customer. Each branch has its own name and is own id but overall it's a company called Wipro.
So, now if you see all these records are duplicate and hence give inconsistencies when this data is distributed in different departments of an organization. So we consolidate this data by sending it to MDM where all the information is consolidated, updated and managed properly.

Richa

No data in response field

We've complete our form and are testing all of the fields. When we review the responses, the data is not populating some of our fields. Any idea why this might be happening?

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
We solved the problem yesterday night.
There was a data collection task with data stream Documents in our system.
When we deleted the ODS in document data stream, this task locked some infoobjects.
This was the problem.
We deleted that task and method, after that we deleted the ODS in document data stream.
We generated the consolidation data basis.
After that we build up the document data stream again.
And this was good.
Best Regards,

Consolidating DSOs

Hi Guys,
I need to merge two DSOs A&B in to third DSO C. I have same key fields in each of this DSO.When I create two transformations , Iam unable to see the consolidated data. In change log of DSO C , its showing both DSOs A & B Data one after other. Like if my DSO A has 200 records and B has 300 records C is showing 500 records. If the DSO A and DSO B has the same company code , Doc Nr and Fiscal Year it should match in C and should display it as one single record ...What to do for this in BI. I worked this same kind in BI 3.5 with update rules overwrite option. But here in 7.0 what to do can any one advice?
Thanks a lot in advance

Well, actually you created a outline view.
Open a new blank document, click View->Outline->Show Document->Insert, insert a document including pictures, and then click
unlink, Close Outline View->save this document. Reopen it, pictures are still here. Did I miss something?
If you mean you can't see pictures in outline view, you can refer to the thread below :

Currency and Groups Dimensions in Legal Consolidation, BPC 7.5

Dear BPC Experts:
          I am using BPC 7.5 NW SP03, and building Legal Consolidation now. According to the SAP Library,http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/bpc_nw_index.htm, it says in 7.5, the currency and groups dimension are required and should hold currency members and consolidation members seperately. I have couple of questions about this design.
1. Are GROUPS and CURRENCY dimensions both included in Legal Consolidation Application at the same time?
2. How to move data in currency diemnsion into corresponding members in GROUPS dimension?
    For example: THe GROUPS member, CG1(its currency is USD). How to let data in currency USD move to CG1.
3. In Legal Consolidation data package, should I modify the prompt dimension from CURRENCY_DIM into GROUP_Dim?? cause 7.5 has CURRENCY dim in its package setting at default. However, the consolidation package is based on GROUP perspectives.
    Does anyone give me any idea in it? I really appreciate your help.
Best Regards,
Fred Cheng

Hi Collet,
Thanks for such a quick response. Based on your answer,
The group-type dimension is used for storing the group component of legal consolidation. The group-type dimension represents the relationship of entities for a given consolidation result. This group is consolidated in a single currency, so there is no need to have another dimension. As of Planning and Consolidation 7.5, you can continue to use the currency-type dimension for this purpose, or you can split it into a group-type dimension (type G) and use a pure currency-type dimension (type R) to allow reporting in multiple group currencies.
If at all I go by that will that be sufficient to have only Group Dimension and ignore RptCurrency field in BPC 7.5?
As of now I am having my Group Dimension looks like this.
Member ID          EVDESCRIPTION        GROUP_CURRENCY        PARENT_GROUP      ENTITY
G_CG1                XXXX                          USD                                                                 E_CG1
G_CG2                XXX                            USD                                   G_CG1                   E_CG2
G_CG3                XXXX                          USD                                   G_CG2                   E_CG3
So now do I need to enter any RptCurrency Members under Group Member ID column to have RptCurrency ignored once for all. By the way our RptCurrency and Group Currency is USD only.
Please advise as right now we are not able to have Currency Conversion Functioning properly. I mean when I executed FXTRANSLGF, I am able to my DM status as Successful but saying 0 Submitted   0 Success   0 Fail
I am unable to crack this. I tired playing Groups and RptCurrency but same result. Successful but no records. We have maintained all Exchange Rates corrctly.

How to Merge Flat file data and DSO Data

I have one DSO A which has more than 20 objects (5 of them are keys), which include 0comp_code,0gl_account,. I have a Flat file which has the following fields ,COMPANY CODE, GLACCOUNT and SUPERVISOR ,EXECUTIVE,ANALYST. My requirement is to get a DSO with consolidated data from DSO A and Flat File data. That means for exapme, In my DSO A , I have US01 COMPANY CODE so when I merge the data in DSO C It should diplay the data for the supervisor exe and analyst for DSO A as well
When I added with 2 DSOs A (ECC ) and B (Flat file)..C is getting the data from B and its appending the data for Flat file at the end...So I want to merge both...DSO A should match up with DSO B flat file company code and gl account and should display the remaining fields
I think its clear..Can any one let me know the solution ASAP...
Note: We are on BI7.0 not 3.5...
Thanks in advance

I have the following key fields in DSO A :
0COMP_CODE,OGL_ACCOUNT, 0CHRT_ACCT,0FISCVARNT,0FISCPER,0AC_DOC_NUMBER,0ITEM_NUM.
Here are the total fields in Flat File:
COMPANY CODE,GL ACCOUNT,SUPERVISOR,ANALYST,EXECUTIVE.
Here am taking 0COMP_CODE and 0GL_ACCOUNT as key fileds in DSO B for Flat File...
For every month there will be 5 to 6000 records for Flat file ...
Thanks

MDM Data Manager step-by-step process with an example

Hi All,
I recently started reading MDM. I am clear with MDM-Console concepts. But I have problem with MDM Data Manager. I am confused with data entries in qualified tables, work flows(using microsoft studio), Matching mode- rules(High treshold, low threshold) etc.. I read material posted in forums- but still I am not clear.
I need a step-by-step process for data entries with *examples*. A good example which covers all Data Manager concepts. PDF's with screen shots, videos any thing would help.
Please help me......It would be of great help.
Thanks in Advance.
Suchir

Hi Suchir ,
MDM 5.5 has 4 MDM clients to perform 4 main functionality on the MDM master records.
- Console- This is where all the Administrative work is performed
- Data Manager- This is where the actual maintainence work is done on the master data like consolidation deduplication etc.
- Import manager- Thsi is from where the source matser records are taken into MDM repoistory
- Syndicator- This is from where teh consolidated master data is send back to the target systems.
MDM Data Manager is the heart of MDM
The activities that can be performed in the MDM Data manager are:
- Data Consolidation
- Data Validation
- Data Deduplication
- Data Assignment
- Data Governanace
etc......
Qualified Table:
- Qulaified tables are used to store relational records where one field value is determining the other field or fields value.
- Qualified tables are maintained in Console and can be viewed in Data Manager
- Qualified Table are viewed under a separate section in Data Manager in the right hand side.
- Qualified table has Non qualifiers and Qualifiers.
- Non qualifiers can be seen in the Qualified table and in the linking Qualified field
- Qualifiers can be seen separately under the Qualified section in the data manager
Kindly refer the below link to know more on this:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00a15239-684e-2b10-b8ae-b936b7d1c1fe
Workflows
- Workflows are designed in MDM for Governanace
- You can create the MDM workflow using the MS Visio 2003 stencils in the MDM Data manager in the record mode under the workflow table
- The saved workflow in DM can then be executed either mnaully or automatically based on teh trigger actions
- The trigger action for teh MDM wf are record Add,Update,Import,Manual
Kindly refer the below link to know more on this:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60559952-ff62-2910-49a5-b4fb8e94f167 (MDM Workflows Overview)

Matching Mode
- This mode is exclusively for Master data deduplication
- We need to create Rules,Strategies,Transformation in MDM data manager in teh record mode
- Then you need to run these strategies on the selected records
- Based on your score and threshold set in the strategy MDM will identify duplicate records
- This score will be seen in teh Matching mode
- Colour coding is used along with scores to find out dupliactes
- Green - 100%dupliacte Blue- 50?% Red- No duplicate

How to perform Step Consolidation?

Hi All,
I want to perform Step Consolidation (a multi-level consolidation where a Group of Entities holds another Subgroup). First I want to consolidate the SUBGROUP (S1) and then the GROUP. The hierarchy is like the one below:
GROUP
E1                       (Parent: GROUP)
E2                       (Parent: GROUP)
E_S1                   (Parent: GROUP)
S1
E3                           (Parent: S1)
E4               (Parent: S1)
I created a member named E_S1 which stores the results of Subgroup Consolidation (in Group Dimension in the ID member that is used for the Subgroup consolidation (G_S1), the property u201CEntityu201D is filled with the entity E_S1 and the property u201CStore_Entityu201D is set to u201CYu201D). The Subgroup S1 is out of the legal hierarchy. I proceed to this solution since I wanted to fill in the Ownership accounts (method, Pown, Pcon, etc) for the contribution of the Subgroup to Group and I could not enter data in parent members.
The SUBGROUP consolidation is done correctly. The results are stored in the Group member u201CG_S1u201D. The same results are also stored in the Entity u201CE_S1u201D and Group member u201CG_S1u201D. But in order to run consolidation for the GROUP I have to transfer the results of E_S1 to the Local Currency because the GROUPu2019s consolidated data will be stored in Group member u201CG_GROUPu201D.
Certainly, this can be done by a script, but my question is if this is supported by the application and can be done automatically.
Is this a correct approach for the case of step consolidation?
Thank you in advance
Maria

Hi Maria
There are GROUP_CURRENCY and STORE_GROUP_CURR property in the group dimension.
Could you try to use them to force a copy of the consolidated values in the LC or C_GROUP currency ?
